DENVER —
“We also know that the two fires became one at some point,” Sheriff Johnson said during a news conference June 8th. “But, there is no way for us to precisely determine when or where this occurred.” “Everyone is upset against Xcel Energy,” Petiprin said. “They're upset that this happened. I think that the report in a lot of ways was cathartic for a lot of the community, because they finally could say ‘Okay, this wasn't just some random thing that happened.’ It wasn't an act of God. There was an actual cause, and the cause is, you know, the people that provide electricity to you.”
Petiprin expects his firm’s mass action lawsuit against Xcel Energy to keep growing in the months ahead, with the statute of limitations on claims of negligence coming in December. This week, his firm is asking a judge to consider consolidating all of the lawsuits related to the Marshall Fire into one courthouse, before one judge. His hope, he said, is that it “forces Xcel to the table” to settle the cases.
